My first quilt, i saw on a tv show... not a beginner quilt, i had the large ruler, rotary cutter, and mat. I did not know about 1/4"seam. But it still worked. This is pre-you tube. You tube is a massive quilting community.

[@sharonlomas3720]

Great questions and answers. I would love to be just starting out, I wouldn’t have such a huge stash.

[@myjane54]

Same here! So funny.😂

The first important step to good quilt top making is accurate cutting!

Excellent job Kimberly!! Love Fat Quarter Shop 💕

This is a great video for beginners, and Yes, this is the perfect channel to learn to quilt with! I’m currently making my first quilt (Moda Blockheads 5) It’s coming out nicely because of all that I have learned here. I have been following Kimberly’s techniques. Thanks to her advice, I’m loving my quilting journey so far. Thank you Kimberly and FQS for all you do! I love your company!❤️

Good morning from Schertz, Tx right up the road from you.

[@kayeavol]

Great answers. Best advice is at 3:44 in video to insure accurate quarter inch. I always point beginners to FQS Ultimate Beginner’s Quilt video series! Make that one, and you’ll prepared to make any beginner to advanced beginner quilt. Thank you, FQS!

[@susieinthecountry4434]

Good morning from Wheaton, IL. Great beginner and for experience quilter questions and answers.. the biggest game changer for me once i understood there is a difference between ironing and pressing.. quilt pieces and block were more squared and less wonky!! 😊

[@paulakrumm8277]

Thank you Kimberly and FQS staff for all the great content you provide. I started quilting in 2020 and I love it! I learned most of what I know from you.

Good Evening from Australia. I love watching Kimberly’s tutorials. Such great information. Thank you so much.

Hi Kimberly, Love your site and have ordered fabric from your company and was highly satisfied. I have a question if you could help me out. I was gifted a huge vintage fabric haul and am planning to use it to make quilts for my sisters. Problem is fabrics smell musty and need washing but....most fabric is already cut into strips and pieces that will fray when I wash. Can I just sew into my quilt blocks and wash quilt after? Way too many pieces to zig zag stitch to keep from fraying. Thanks!!

[@tishuabradley6031]

Great questions and answers, Kimberly!

[@conniecruz3346]

I like this kind of video.😊

[@margaretflynn1288]

[@marykatecurtis9557]

Great advice Kimberly 😊

[@ChrisJohnston-z7u]

I am in love with the quilt on Kimberly's left hand side (the viewer's right hand side). Does anyone know what the pattern and fabric collection is?

A Quilting Life BOM 2023. BOM = Block of the month. On the main screen, beneath the video are words then the word: more... select the word more..., just tap the screen It takes you to a "Description " box. This is where you will find Sew Much information... most KZbin creators add essential information here and usually say: " find more information in the description box below the video". This is what they mean. FQS Usually puts the the name of each Quilted/counted cross stitch/crochet/needlework design/object here, as seen on the screen, behind Kimberly. Using this Description box, when you scroll down, again seeing the word more.. , you will see their specific information listing the two quilts. Moonbeans is the navy blue one, free design to raise $ for Texas Make a Wish Foundation (an annual FUNDRAISER with $50,000.00 as the goal raised) with the blue hyperlink to the FQS SHOP and page. The other quilt will be denoted the same way: name of the quilt then a blue hyperlink. Just touch the hyperlink on the screen and it will take you to the page on the FQS shop. Scroll down to find the fabric line used, size, and lots and lots more information. Hope you find what you asked for!

Hello Chris! That is the A Quilting Life BOM 2023 bit.ly/3xlw37g using a setting from the Vintage Christmas Book www.fatquartershop.com/vintage-christmas-book

[@amymabbott8738]

I never considered the fact I should use the same brand of ruler for consistency.

[@christinemg3969]

Dont forget about a seam ripper. What would we do without it. 😂

[@KathyRackow]

I am so glad Kimberly spoke about obtaining an accurate 1/4" seam. Her answers are very helpful.

[@annhorky5987]

My first quilt was a 9 patch . No rotary cutter or no ruler. Just scissors and the pattern I saw on price is right. And scrappy from clothing scraps from sun dresses I made from my girls.

[@robinburt7196]

I had to Google what the" Wired Autocomplete Interview" was and what it had to do with quilting. Since Kimberly is a sewlebrity I guess it works out. Lol

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

You weren't alone. I chose to do the same!

[@barbararice1196]

Good advice all around!😊

Love these videos!

[@rohinichandrashekar9508]

Thank you. I am saving this video - will make it so much easier for me to help my daughter make her first quilt! And to refresh my own learning. Could not help noticing the quilts behind you :) Any pattern for them?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Rohin! The quilts on display are the Moonbeams Charity Quilt bit.ly/3XtlHNw, and A Quilting Life BOM 2023 bit.ly/3xlw37g

[@rohinichandrashekar9508]

@@FatQuarterShopTX thank you. they are adorable.

[@todaysdentalcare4049]

The quilt to Kimberley’s left on screen. What pattern is that? I looked at the “a quilting life BOM 2023 but that’s not it, the starts aren’t the same?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Libby! It is the same pattern but Kimberly used a setting from Vintage Christmas Book www.fatquartershop.com/vintage-christmas-book

[@todaysdentalcare4049]

Fab thank you. I really like the setting and I am looking for something to set my DMBOM 2023 into. So I will go Look for that in my vintage Xmas book. X

[@nevah8366]

How do I prevent one row or two rows in a block from being stretchier ? This seems to happen more when I am assembling a star made with flying geese or half-square triangles. The stretchier row(s) does not align with the other row or rows causing the seams not to butt, Or one row in the block is about 1/8" shorter on both sides. Thanks.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Nevah! You could try starching or a heavier starch before you cut to keep the blocks from stretching.

[@nevah8366]

Thanks for the reply.@@FatQuarterShopTX

Great Q&A. I follow Kimberly’s methods of quilting as close as possible. I would never have attempted a quilt without her tutorials.
